After many years of working as a carry-on-only travelerI’ve developed a packing system to keep things organized and efficient. In my Notes app, I’ve created a list titled “Packing List”, which contains two different checklists. One is for my own luggage and the other one is for my family. go-to capsule wardrobe items I want another one for me personal item bag. These lists cover everything from accessories and non-negotiable clothing. The top of the list for my travel capsule wardrobe (literally) is the Aritzia Effortless Pant.
Aritzia Effortless Pant

Since I bought my first pair of pants less than two year ago, I’ve probably packed them for more than 30 trips (yeah they’re that good). I’ve brought them to six different European countries, including Norway, Austria, France, Turkey, Greece, and the UK—plus, I packed them for a recent trip to JapanYou can also find a number of other domestic destinations.
What is so special about the Effortless PantYou ask? You ask? Well, first of all, they are made with the brand’s “crepette” fabric, a Japanese crepe fabric renowned for its soft texture and easy draping.
They feel breezy yet sophisticated, with a slight stretch that makes them feel incredibly comfortable—even if you’re wearing them all day long or during a long flight (I’ve tested them in both scenarios and can confirm they passed with flying colors).

This fabric is truly magical. I can inexplicably wear these pants through all seasons—I’ve worn them while exploring Oslo in the winter and while watching hot air balloons rise at Argos in Cappadocia in Turkey—with both ease and comfort. The shoes are both durable and breathable, which makes them perfect for travel.
It’s also worth noting that the crepe material seems to be completely resistant to wrinkles. I’ve packed these in suitcase after suitcase, and worn them for long stretches of time—they’ve stayed flawless throughout it all, without an unwanted fold in sight.

It’s all about the design. I love the look of a well-tailored pair of trousers—and I have yet to find a better-fitting pair than the Effortless Pant. They have a wide leg, a stylish look, and beautiful pleats at the front. They pair perfectly with just about anything—I’ve worn them with a T-shirt and sneakers (my favorite combo), a nice blouse and heels, and even a big coat and winter boots. As an example, they can be dressed up or down in a matter of seconds.
These pants are available in two colors. Effortless Shorts In white. The trousers are available in a total of 16 colors, and they come in four lengths. You’ll feel like you bought a customized pair by the time you check out.

I also like the Effortless, its equally stylish cousin. Aritzia Limitless PantThe has a flat-front (no loops for belts) with a slightly elasticized waistband to allow for a customized fit.
Aritzia trousers are loved by many people. One customer called. Effortless Pant “hands down my favorite tailored trouser to date—super comfortable, amazing quality, and the fabric hangs so beautifully.” “I have worn these trousers in the Caribbean climates and in the freezing Montreal winters, they keep me stylish.”
Another buyer called them, “so flattering and comfortable…I could wear these like they’re sweatpants.” Some buyers have recommended sizing down, but I would agree with this sentiment based on my own experience. Please read the sizing guide carefully. Use the measurements to determine the correct size, even if they seem larger than the usual.
These pants will be with me on every trip and that’s not going to change any time soon. I’d like to have more colors. Effortless Pant You can also find out more about Limitless Pant What I pack in my travel wardrobe
